Food, restaurants, and dietary needs

Six chapters built around the meals of one real trip in Sucre, read the almuerzo board and spot the sopa de maní you’re allergic to, order a salteña at a morning stand, make the peanut allergy understood at dinner and have the kitchen verify it, explore the mercado food section, pay by reading the bill, split, tip, factura and a wrong charge fixed, and, when the wrong order comes and you feel unwell, re-verify and ask for a farmacia de turno.

Soup first, then the jugo ✎
  1. Read the almuerzo menu

    Start at a comedor near the plaza, read the lunch board, understand that the almuerzo completo is sopa + segundo + postre for Bs 25, spot that today’s sopa is sopa de maní, the peanut you’re allergic to, and ask the señora for another soup before you order.

    Start chapter 1

  3. Order a salteña

    Order your mid-morning salteña at a stand, fillings, the peanut check, the heat, and eat it the local way.

  4. Make the allergy understood

    Make a real peanut allergy understood at dinner, and get the waiter to verify it with the kitchen.

  5. Street and market food

    Explore the mercado food section, ask what things are, how they’re cooked, and try one.

  6. Pay, split, and the factura

    Read the bill before you pay, split it, tip, ask for the factura, and fix a wrong charge.

  7. Wrong order, and feeling unwell

    Fix the wrong dish that may carry maní, then, feeling unwell, ask where a pharmacy is.

  8. Wrong order, and feeling unwell

    Finish by protecting yourself, flag the wrong dish that may carry maní and re-verify with the kitchen, then, feeling a bit unwell, describe it minimally and ask where to find a farmacia de turno.
